Chapter 26 The Battle of Shan County (please recommend, please collect)

Maybe there were some problems in Shan County, Dong Zhuo actually returned to Chang'an from Meiwu ahead of schedule, this time it was less than half a month since he came back last time.

According to outside news, some of the teams of the Eighteenth Route princes have not withdrawn, they plan to continue to attack Chang'an, and among them they need to attack Shan County, so Shan County is currently facing war.

It may be that the battle was tense, but Dong Zhuo rushed back overnight regardless of his enjoyment in Meiwu.

Zhang Ming got the news from Wang Yuna.

He took out the imperial edict that he had fabricated before, and planned to discuss it with Dong Zhuo after Dong Zhuo returned to the palace.

Soon, Dong Zhuo arrived in Chang'an.

In the evening, Dong Zhuo hurriedly entered the Chang'an Palace. He planned to ask Zhang Ming to summon him to protect Chang'an in the name of the emperor, and to mobilize righteous soldiers to attack the Han thieves.

At this moment, Zhang Ming has fallen asleep in the bedroom of Weiyang Palace.

It's a pity that the sound of duk tuk rang in Zhang Ming's ears, and when he woke up, he found that Dong Zhuo had already entered the emperor's bedroom.

There are also a large number of Dong Zhuo's subordinates and guards standing outside the door.

Dong Zhuo quickly pulled Zhang Ming up and said, "Your Majesty, the Han bandits are already attacking Shan County. I need Your Majesty to formulate an order to attack these rebellious Han bandits. My subordinates have already gone ahead to reinforce the army of Shan County."

After finishing speaking, he asked his subordinates to prepare paper, ink, pens and inkstones, and at the same time asked the eunuch to get the scrolls and bearings to be called.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's eagerness, Zhang Ming knew that there was another war outside. Of course, he is still a hero who knows the current affairs. It is impossible and unrealistic to expect the Eighteenth Route to rescue him at this time. The princes will not win this battle.

Zhang Ming shook his head, he was still a little confused and dozed off.

About half a quarter of an hour later, the eunuch who delivered the decree in the palace went to bring the scroll, bearings, and some pen and ink. Under Dong Zhuo's order, Zhang Ming wrote down the imperial decree word by word according to Dong Zhuo's request.

Zhang Ming hadn't fully woken up yet, but he still knew the general idea, that is, the rebels were making trouble in the Shan County area, and Dong Zhuo was ordered by the emperor to recruit righteous soldiers and recruit troops in Chang'an City by himself.

After writing these, Dong Zhuo took the imperial decree and left directly without taking care of Zhang Ming. Dong Zhuo's subordinates and personal guards also left Weiyang Palace with Dong Zhuo.

Weiyang Palace returned to silence.

At this moment, Zhang Ming asked the eunuch to go out to watch the night, and he continued to prepare for sleep.

After all, there were no electric lights at night in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was almost impossible to do anything except sleep by relying on the weak candlelight.

The next day, Zhang Ming woke up early in the morning and called Cui Ming.

When Cui Ming came to Weiyang Palace, he said to him, "Go and pay attention to Dong Zhuo's actions in Chang'an, I need all the details."

Cui Ming said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the villain will do it now."

Zhang Ming originally planned to bring up Dong Zhuo's promotion to his subordinates as soon as Dong Zhuo came back, but seeing Dong Zhuo's anxiety last night, Zhang Ming refrained from mentioning it for the time being.

However, Dong Zhuo wanted to fight the princes again, which gave Zhang Mingxin a chance. After all, he was still worried about whether it was too strange for him to be promoted suddenly by Dong Zhuo's subordinates. But with new wars and new results, the promotion There are more good reasons.

The reason why he wanted to know what Dong Zhuo did in Chang'an was also to find out the specific situation of Dong Zhuo's subordinates. Although Cui Ming might not find useful information, it was better than doing nothing.

The war surrounding Shan County was not a large-scale war, but the reason why Dong Zhuo was so eager was because Shan County was too close to Chang'an. Once Shan County was occupied, there would be only one or two gates left You can invade Chang'an, so the geographical location of Shan County is very important.

Therefore, with the help of the imperial decree, Dong Zhuo further conscripted soldiers and collected food in Chang'an. If there were three men in a family in Chang'an, he would send a man to serve as a soldier. In short, the whole Chang'an is in a mess.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo also asked every household in Chang'an to provide food, and if there was no food, it would be given to the livestock. In short, Dong Zhuo's troops would grab whatever was available.

It can be said that Dong Zhuo's atrocities have caused the entire Chang'an people to complain, and even many aristocratic families publicly criticized Dong Zhuo's behavior, but Dong Zhuo turned a blind eye to all of this.

Zhang Ming asked Cui Ming to throw away the edict that had been drawn up before, and then prepared to start drafting a new edict.

According to what Zhang Ming heard from Cui Mingna, in this battle, Xu Rong led troops to defend Shan County, Lu Bu acted as the vanguard general, and Li Jue and Guo Si guarded the surrounding cities. In short, Dong Zhuo was sure to win this battle.

It's just that no one can say well before getting the final battle result.

After the Battle of Shan County, Zhang Ming continued to use the excuse of playing chess to ask Huangfusong. After all, Huangfusong's understanding of war was much higher than him.

From Huangfusong's mouth, Zhang Ming roughly judged the possible outcome of this battle, that is, Dong Zhuo would defeat the army of the princes who attacked Shan County, and then distribute the troops he recruited in Chang'an to the surrounding cities of Chang'an to consolidate The stability of Chang'an.

This means that the number of troops stationed in Chang'an will decrease in the future, which is beneficial to Zhang Ming. After all, after the assassination of Dong Zhuo, the fewer troops under Dong Zhuo in Chang'an, the better.

The battle around Shan County lasted less than half a month and ended. The army of the princes was vulnerable and was defeated by the army under Dong Zhuo. These princes retreated to Luoyang and continued to stay. Now most of them have returned to their base camp, and only a few people remain in Luoyang to express the alliance.

Based on Zhang Ming's understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms, the Eighteenth Route princes seem to have a large number of people, but internal conflicts are prominent, especially after Sun Jian withdrew from the Eighteenth Route princes, he has torn away the hypocrisy of his alliance. After Dong Zhuo completely reorganized the army , Luoyang is at your fingertips.

Therefore, this small-scale war around Shan County actually gave Dong Zhuo a chance to forcibly recruit troops and regroup.

It has to be said that although the old thief Dong Zhuo is brutal and cruel, his combat ability should not be underestimated. Therefore, if you want to defeat Dong Zhuo from the front, it can only be done by one or two princes.

Of course, Dong Zhuo in history did not die on the battlefield, but died in the hands of Lu Bu.

During the communication with Huangfusong, Zhang Ming began to seriously learn from him about military operations and the use of strategies.

It's just that Zhang Ming, who has never been on the battlefield, has never been able to understand the essence of real combat. Therefore, although he is listening to Huangfusong's lecture on combat knowledge seriously, his mind is actually a mess.

It seems that fighting is a technical job, Zhang Ming sighed.
